Paperclipping 162 – A Mini-Book in Two Hours

I’m excited to share this week’s member episode! You’ll get to see me assemble a mini-book using a template and some tips — plus my task-batching process — in just two hours! Actually, you won’t see the entire two hours. We only show you the essential parts!

Anyway, you can do this!

You need the free Flash Player to view this video.

You can also right-click to save the video.

If you are not a Paperclipping Member, I think you’re missing out. Of course, I’m extremely biased. But you’re missing this and 161 other tutorials, along with two to come every month. Want to learn more? Please click here!

But please also feel free to watch the video trailer above.

Below are pictures of a few of the pages shown in today’s episode –

    This looks really cute and do-able. It might me one more step – but you could ink around the page edges to give it a old fashioned “wild west” look. ;-)

    Simple and straight to the point this is what I like to do more now and show more my pictures, the only that doesn’t work for me is to use design paper back to back, I always feel that because people will touch them I need a more stronger base maybe a cardstock in the middle or chipboard

    Inspiring and clear. I was feeling overwhelmed with the idea of doing a mini book about our relocating from WA state to CA, but I think I can do it! Funny how I hadn’t thought to do the journaling the way you did it–very cool.

    My Mind’s Eye has some really nice thick double sided paper designs that I think I would use for a mini like this.

    I can understand that, though I’ve always felt the two pieces feel sturdy
    enough for me. I’m at the point now where chipboard pages seem so
    excessively big! The other mini I’m working on right now has chipboard
    pages. :)

    Let me know how it goes!

    I love this! You inspired me to grab a set of old photos and make one yesterday. I’ve never really thought of making a mini book using just card stock rather than chipboard. And since I don’t tend to keep many raw chipboard mini albums around, I theme not to make them.

    But this is great for that event with not enough pictures to make a photo album scrapbook ala Stacy Julian, but too many to make a two page spread. It’s also a great way to use bits from your stash. I love my little album I made yesterday. Thanks for the video.

    I can’t tell you how great you make me feel, knowing that you sat down and
    did it! That’s awesome! Congratulations, Patti! Thank you for sharing your
    success!

    Loved this episode and the whole idea… makes me want to go and make a minibook now!

  • The Bibliophiles

    For those who don’t have chipboard on hand and think two pieces of cardstock together is not enough, you could us cereal box cardboard and kill two birds with one stone–make a neat minibook and repurpose all those cereal, cracker,  and granola bar boxes you have!
